Almost ready for roadworthy check and wondered if its best to get a mobile dude out or just randomly pick a local place ?
I am a bit worried as the car is 31yr old and expectations may be a little high on how "tight " it all needs to be as its got very small oil leaks and underneath the front is a little wet looking from oil sweats. With this in mind, is it best to get a mobile dude ? Save getting permits to drive back and forward from roadworthy station if it fails or needs more work ?  Any ideas or suggestions ? Never dealt with a rwc place and don't know what to expect. 81 F100. |

Clean the oil off before inspection.
Then do whatever you feel comfortable or what ever is less hassel.

A roadworthy check is the same for all cars regardless of age, if that is what you are asking about for old cars.

I'd contact a local 4x4 club and ask them, like any genre of car mods we all seem to get to know certain rwc people that are realistic about older vehicles. You just need to find one that knows what they're looking at A truck compared to a car.
